Cardboard furniture has been on the uprise even before WALL-E programed the masses green. I posted about a cardboard highchair, a foldable play-space, and Freida's cardboard Sukkah (+ other green goodies) before, but this paper shredder is apparently the ultimate in regard to "furniture". Rip + Tatter is from designer Pete Oyler (I love his Cricket Bench), and while it looks like it can take the term biodegradable to a brand spankin' new place (i.e. your living room); word has it (Oyler's word!) that the prototypes have been acclimating in their "Brooklyn test nurseries" for a year, and they remain remarkably intact!
These totally play-up my recent pull toward industrial themed furniture - you can't exactly give kids concrete, steel, and mango wood - but this cardboard messiness is totally appropriate! Brings shabby-chic to a whole new level - the playroom!
Rip + Tatter, $55
Spotted this confetti inspired nail color from Deborah Lippmann, and I have to admit that I'm quite smitten. I usually steer clear of any sort of gild when it comes to nail color - stick with solid high gloss or mattes. But this one has got me on the glitter train! Trying to decide if this party in a bottle would end up coming off a bit more trashy than trendy...? I mean I'm only in my 20's - I think I can easily pull this off... way too fun to pass up attempting!
Happy Birthday Nail Lacquer, $18.00
Firstly, how cool? Also, honestly speaking, what really made me look was the little "pear" logo in the backside of the laptop! :)
